Advantages: Keeps your skin smooth, its for all skin types, can be used as a lip gloss Disadvantages: could make you look greasy
I have always used Vaseline pure petroleum jelly from when I was a kid and I think my mum used to use it on me when I was a baby. I mainly used it during the winter times because it kept my skin moisturized and it didn't dry up quickly like other skin lotions. It also helped to keep me warm from the winter colds. I also used Vaseline Pure petroleum Jelly for my lips, it kept my lips soft for a long time and I also put it on my lips when I go to sleep. ... ...always put a layer of Vaseline first before I put lip gloss. This is for the reason that Vaseline keeps my skin soft and does not dry it up. If I put the lip glosses without a layer of Vaseline on my lips, the lip gloss dries up quickly, this is rather annoying. When it's in the summer there is no point of buying lip gloss I always put Vaseline and the sun melts it on my lips and it shines like clear glass. Of course during winter time it's a different ...

PRICES
======
Vaseline is the main company which provided petroleum jelly and now other companies are producing their own brand at a lower price. From Bodycare a 150g pot costs £1.59 but Bodycare has their own independent brand which is 59p for a 300g bottle which is twice the size! So Vaseline are obviously overcharging customers. I mean which would you prefer buying? Vaseline or Bodycare? It’s the same product but Bodycare has twice the ... ...can also be bought from Superdrug, Boots, Wilkinsons and supermarkets at varied prices.

...of Vaseline, of course!
Vaseline is a product that has endless uses and can be used from cradle to grave. I keep several jars in the house and a small pot of it in my handbag (just under the kitchen sink!). It now comes in plastic jars, but my little pot is metal. I buy mine at the supermarket where a 100g jar costs me £1.29.
Vaseline is Petroleum Jelly, which is an emollient, which means it is a softening or soothing substance. It is a clear jelly ... ...earliest memories is of spreading Vaseline all over my arms and legs to go swimming on Plymouth Hoe in the winter. From which you can deduce that it good for protecting your skin against the elements. I still smear some on my cheeks when walking the dog in windy weather.
I use it regularly on my face, neck, hands, knees and elbows, legs and feet – let’s just say all over! But the beauty of this product is that you are always finding other uses for ...

Advantages: comes in a big tub Disadvantages: you cant get MTV 2 on with it
...this incident i learnt that vaseline is a vital part of everyday life, and you should not leave the house without it. Whilst carrying vaseline with me ive managed to do many things i wouls otherwise be unable to do. For example, it was a steamy night in the summer of 69 when i was visiting barrys ice cream van. Then from no-where, a hooded youngster brandishing sawn off BB gun tried to rob the ice cream truck of 99 flakes. Everyone dived to the floor ... ...is not just armed robberies vaseline can be used in. Its a healthy alternative to butter, an exclent form of war paint, PLUS, it is personaly endorsed by Micheal Barrymore, who uses it to coat the edges of his swimming pools, and for other uses hich he doesnt specificaly mention in public.
All in all a great product, be you a racing driver, airline pilot, or homosexual.

...is of my mother rubbing vaseline on my dry botty... I was about 17... no only kidding, I was a baby of course! But what I mean is that it's been around since the year dot, and while other products have vanished, vaseline has stayed true.
In a nutshell, vaseline is a petroleum jelly which can be used for many different purposes, which I shall explain below:
1. The most common is to use it to gloss the lips. I have to say I'm addicted to this habit, ... ...gosh, somebody once told me Vaseline was perfect for this, and my god were they right! It eases the tightening of the skin, and keeps it moisturised for a long time, much better than any aftersun. You must be quite liberal in this case.
Yes it is greasy, but Vaseline is only intented to be applied in small quantities - that's why the tubs are so small! So don't use it as a normal moisturiser, because that's not what it's for!
You can basically ...

...mainly use my own personal Vaseline as a softener. It gets put onto lips each morning to help keep them moist and prevent cracking in bad weather, and on dry patches of skin. Yes, it's greasy. It's supposed to be. But it does absorb quickly into the skin so you don't leave little greasy smears everywhere.
I have also used it on leather shoes that were rubbing me by working it into the leather with my fingers (it was that or go Eskimo and chew the ... ...and sore. A dab of Vaseline on them puts a bit of moister back in, and softens the scab so it doesn't keep cracking.
Vaseline was also used to stop his bit (metal bit of the bridle that goes in the mouth) from squeaking, by rubbing it into the links.
Vaseline is an essential tool for those of us who have to fake our tans. Smear some into your elbows, knees, ankles and toes to prevent the tanning lotion from settling too much in this area. It helps ...

Vaseline
Basic I know, but this must be one of the most essential parts of my beauty cabinet. It's cheap and you get loads for your money. I use it wherever I have dry skin and it makes it so soft. It's a brilliant softening lipbalm and it keeps my lips soft and smooth for ages. I also use it on my eyes before I go to bed. I put it over the eyelids and lashes. It encourages eyelash growth and thickness and also soothes my eyes after a day of wearing ...
